The Bent Pyramid is an ancient Egyptian pyramid located at the royal necropolis of Dahshur, approximately 40 kilometres south of Cairo, built under the Old Kingdom Pharaoh Sneferu (circa 2600 BCE). A unique example of early pyramid development in Egypt, this was the second pyramid built by Sneferu.
